I feel the same way! My grandparents literally JUST moved here from another country, so I’m really scared for them. Where they moved from is worse though... which is why I’m worried, because my grandfather is going back!!! I do NOT think this is a good idea in our current situation but no one can change his mind! His plan is to keep going back and forth every 6 months or so. He is a preacher there and they need preachers so I understand but it is still a terrible idea!!I feel the same way. Anxiety and depression are starting to creep in and take over. They keep calling this 'the new normal,' but I don't want to accept this as 'normal.' There is nothing normal or natural about it - people not allowed to work, see lived ones, kids can't touch grandparents... It goes against human nature and instinct. I just keep praying for a solution.
That's really hard. I'm sorry! Hang in there!I feel the same way! My grandparents literally JUST moved here from another country, so I’m really scared for them. Where they moved from is worse though... which is why I’m worried, because my grandfather is going back!!! I do NOT think this is a good idea in our current situation but no one can change his mind!

it’s certainly good to help, and to keep busy. I do auto detail work from home, and it soaks up a lot of time since I’m quite OCD about my work... in a good way thoughThe coronavirus hasn't made me feel depressed, in part, because I can still go to most of my volunteer jobs.
I can't volunteer at the two libraries, but I can still go to the two farms as well as the food pantry to help out.
There have been similar cases here. It's hard to buy meat in many places because of disruptions in the supply chain. We have several plants here around my hometown that so far are functioning and have no outbreaks (mostly chicken), so we'll see. Beef is getting scarce.Here in Ireland we have something odd going on. Outbreaks to workers in 5 different meat processing plants. If anybody can explain this one I would love to hear it. Other places are still opened too for other workers. But these clusters are all in the meat processing plants. They are trying to understand why it is happening. Why meat processing plants only? From what I know they are all owned by the same company. Still just weird. If it was one plant you could say a worker might have been infected. Five different plants? Spread across the country.
It could be two years actually. There may never be a vaccine. And the fastest a vaccine has ever been developed is 5 years for Ebola. In a recent Nature article using shield immunity was suggested. many people have gotten COVID and gotten better. They probably have immunity so they could go to work in vital jobs.It definitely gets to a point of when is enough, AND is too much... well, too much? The problem is, no one on this planet has those answers. We can’t all stay locked up until next year, waiting for a vaccine though.
I still can't go back to work and that's pretty depressing. I also don't have my normal activities to do after work. Just finished a free week of free HBO and Showtime.I think watching the news on TV too much can cause so many people to feel depressed and/or nervous during these times.
